9-7TX525 Service Manual Rev. 000
8. Start the engine and run at full rpm.
9. Activate the auxiliary valve handle and hold. View

10. Flow specication is 14 gpm (53 lpm).
11. Lower engine rpm.
12. Shut the engine off.
This test checks the system ow of the auxiliary circuit.
The components involved in this test are: gear pump,
auxiliary valve, auxiliary couplers and hoses. When the
